Advertise on podcast: Scientific Discussion

This is episode 9 of the Scientific Discussion, where we discussed more of our favourite math and logic puzzles.  As always, these puzzles did not require long, drawn out mathematical working out, which would be impossible to convey through audio, but rather quick, creative thinking, which is the fun of problem solving. Part 1 was by far our most successful episode and we are keen to make this a series. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we interview Parker and Ray from the Math & Physics Podcast. Their podcast is one of the best podcasts out there when it comes to learning science and maths, and it’s great to be able to talk with them about math and physics education, as well as the future of physics.

Do you know why the sky is blue? The truth is simple, but surprising. This is a clip from our episode, common science myths and misconceptions. Make sure to check it out if you enjoyed this clip.

In this episode, we delve into radioactivity, the world of nuclei when they become unstable. Lost to get into here, make sure you let us know if you want a part 2. Also, this episode will be very useful to you if you are revising for GCSEs, as most of the information we share links directly to the syllabus. If not, still plenty of interesting physics to learn anyway.

Why is the sky blue? Are human brains really that big or special? In this episode, we debunk common science myths and misconceptions like these. Many of these things are basic observations that we tend not to question. 

In this episode, we share our favourite maths and logic puzzles. These are quick, fun problems based more on quick, creative thinking rather than long, mathematical working out. We hope this will be a format for more episodes like this is the future.

Today, we delve into the weird world of black holes. These strange things have captured the imagination of physicists and mathematicians for decades and we still have a lot to learn about them.

This is my first episode with a guest! This week we explore the Centripetal Force, how it's a net force not a fundamental force and much more.

How can the derivative of e^x be the same thing? How does this make sense and how do we prove it?

Today I'm looking at parachutes. You might think of them as nothing more than a drag to slow parachutists down, but you would be surprised as to how much there actually is to them.
